With that in mind, could a webserver (that is IPv6 Compatible) be used to track a specific computer's traffic through a website without using any session cookies, such as repeat viewing or if the website is visited in something like incognito mode?

If you mean no more Network Address Translation, yes, that is possible. Whether or not that actually happens for the internet connection in your house is a different question.

That could happen (that could happen to some extent with IPv4 now), but as mobile devices become more and more prevalent, tracking via this method would become less useful (as devices would switch IP addresses frequently).
